• Windows vista cannot open network, the Task Manager and the windows system restore.

  I have problems with a computer, I'm trying to fix. It is a Dell Inspiron 1420 with windows vista. Whenever I try to open the networking or system restore, I get a window with a white screen. With this blank screen, it's like the computer is frozen, ctrl alt del, break the gel, but when I try to open the Task Manager, it would not come. Another problem is blocking down. Stop taking too long. (maybe 30 min)   I did research on the internet to find what could cause something like this and a way to solve these problems, but I came empty. Any information or suggestion would be useful.

  Have you stopped to iexplore.exe or explorer.exe? Sounds to me as if it was the last of the two.

  Start the Task Manager (right-click on the taskbar and select "Start Task Manager", and then click file--> new task (run...), type explorer.exe in the box press OK.)

  A reboot must also take care of it. :-)

• I seem to have in dual processes that run in the Task Manager.

  In the Task Manager, I see the same process running several times.  Example: under user/Admin""(My name as) ","Local Service","Network Service"and"System"." "  These really duplicates and they slow down my system?

  Are they duplicates?  Perhaps.

  They slow down your computer?  Depends on what you're trying to do.  Anything that takes your resources take the pool available for other applications.  However, if you do not run low on resources (your CPU has a lot of horses for what is needed and you're not missing memory for most) - then it probably isn't as much of a downturn as just all of the resources actually get used.  You won't slow until that run out you of resources and try to open something else.

  If you worry about it?  N ° except if you have been compromised (you have a virus, worm, Trojan horse, malware any) and this is what is running - the system is as it should.  You are not running a single-user system - even if you are the only physical user.  Service accounts, etc. are there for the functionality of the machine as a whole.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

• Firefox does not open, but the process remains in the Task Manager up until I finish it

  I used to get the Google search engine at the start of Firefox, with bookmarks bar in side bars and tool at the top. Now, all I get is a Google search page, with a few buttons on the top like images, etc. There is no way to close the program without using the Task Manager. I downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed, but the problem has not disappeared. Operating system is Windows XP Professional

  Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

  It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and bars scrolling down.

  • Use Restore or expand in the context menu of the taskbar icon to set the focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the window of Firefox.
  • Open the system menu of the window of Firefox via Alt + space and see if you can move and resize the window (use the arrows on the keyboard).

  If it works, then first close all other open windows of Firefox and then close Firefox via "file > exit/Quit" to save the setting.

• The Task Manager does not appear, nothing happens when you select it

  It is very difficult to get help. Now, I'm not sure if this is the right forum and place to be. I need help to get the Task Manager which has disappeared from my computer. I click right on the taskbar, and then click on task manager and nothing appeared. Please advise on how to find him.

  Hi disillusionedvery,

  If you're not, try to login as an administrator and see if that makes a difference.  If so, we still have a problem, but at least we know the Task Manager is here.  If you have any other user accounts on the computer, try connecting them and see if they all have the same problem or if it is limited to one account.  Your profile may be damaged and if this is the case, post back and I will provide procedures about how to fix it.

  Try pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL all at the same time and click Task Manager on the screen that appear and see if it works to access the Task Manager.

  If this does not work, let's try the following:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  , Type sfc/scannow go and let it run.  It will scan and try to the difficulty of some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting error messages in the event viewer on the Task Manager (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Look in the system section.

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

  Do you know when this problem started?  If it has been reasonably recent, try a restore of the system to a point in time BEFORE the problem started. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If this does not work, you may be infected with malware.  Update and run a scan complete with any security software you use.  Then, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.  If you find something, especially something you can't delete, then after return.

  That's enough for now.  One of these procedures will be hopefully resolved or at least identify the problem.  If this isn't the case, please post back with the answers to the above questions, results of the tests and procedures that you did (including copies of errors if any found), your version of Windows (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2) and anything else that you think may be useful.  We will then decide where to go was from there, armed with more information and know what and did not work.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Iexplore.exe process still running in the Task Manager

  I was see multiple iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when I'm not in IE, so to trouble shoot it I uninstalled IE, run several different scans/squared (which found nothing) and iexplore.exe is still appear in the Task Manager. I guess that it is some sort of virus since I uninstalled IE and it is always showing to run. No idea how to do the trick of it? I am running XP.

  IF IE 8 was present in the control panel > add or remove programs, then when you have uninstalled it from there, you have restored the previous version of Internet Explorer, in other words, IE 7.

  The best way to confirm this is to start IE and then click Help > topic.

  There is malware that disguises itself as iexplore.exe.  If you see iexplore.exe or Iexplore.exe in msconfig or in the Task Manager after Windows startup, but you did manually start Internet Explorer, you probably don't have a problem.
  What antivirus applications you scan with?

  If you haven't already done so, I suggest to do the following:

  Run a scan virus online with the eSet online scanner (may require a download if you are using a version of Internet Explorer)

  Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free)

  Download, install, update and run SUPERAntiSpyware

  You can uninstall all the latter after their use, if you wish.

• How can I enable the Task Manager after recovering from an attack of Win32.GEMA

  Hello

  I am running Windows XP SP3.

  I have recently had an attack of the Win32.GEMA Trojan horse. Details of it are here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FRansirac.G

  I recovered my system using:

  AVG Rescue Disk

  Kaspersky Rescue Disk

  BitDefender Rescue Disk

  Scan of MalwareBytes

  McAffee analysis

  Hitman Pro Scan

  Spybot scan

  Eusing Registry Cleaner

  CCleaner

  Overkill maybe? But it worked... Up to now

  Apparently, the Trojan horse disables the Task Manager and that is I'm having bad to restore.

  I followed the advice in this article from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913623/ - but when I followed this part

  To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for a specific user, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. Restart the computer.

  N ° 5 says that disable TaskMgr should appear in the right pane, but there is no entry to disable TaskMgr. All it is an icon of the small 'ab' (the default) beside it, then, REG_SZ.

  Then I tried to follow this part of the article from Microsoft

  To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for all users, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. Restart the computer.

  This time off TaskMgr was in the right pane - this time with a little "ohho? icon followed REG_DWORD

  I tried to create a new entry for the current user by copying one for all users, but not joy.

  Any suggestions?

  CTRL + Alt + Del does not receive any reaction whatsoever, no Ctrl + Shift + Esc or click with the right button on the barv task and selecting the Task Manager

  Thank you in anticipation

  These KB articles are for a different problem when you receive these messages when you run the Task Manager...

  Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

  The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

  The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

  You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

  Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

  Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

  c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

  Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

  The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

  Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

• The Task Manager is not working

  Original title: MANAGER of the TASKS DOENSN can't WORK

  THE DOENSN CAN'T WORK TASK MANAGER

  What exactly does "Does not WORK"?

  You see one of these messages:

  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.

  Or nothing seems to happen when you call the Task Manager?

  Some malicious software is aware of the methods you are most likely to use to find and remove it (invites the Task Manager, System Restore, command, Internet, Google, etc.) and prevents things from work.

  The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

  Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

  Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

  Download, install, update, and make at least a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.

  If things look good, you can delete the c:\windows\system32\jose.exe file (sorry, Jose).

• The Task Manager is disabled

  Hello my pc Task Manager is disabled. The display panel and the sound is muted State after a few seconds. I don't know where I will fix it. Can the window update fix this? My OS is windows XP... How can I find its good condition?

  Original title: update windows

  Tip: When you encounter problems, try not to paraphrase you see error messages...

  Do you mean the Task Manager does not work, or when you try to start TM you get an error message (and what is the error message)?

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
  The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
  The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
  The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.
